Installing a LifeCycle Manager Client

Use this procedure to install a LifeCycle Manager Client. This
version of LifeCycle Manager Client is not compatible with LifeCycle
Manager Server 10.1.1.0 or earlier versions.

Note:

Before installing a LifeCycle Manager Client, verify that all the requirements are met.
Refer to the chapter Install M3 Project Admin Client/Server in the M3 Core Installation Planning Guide.

Note:

Installing the new LifeCycle Manager Server requires that an LCM Client 10.1.x
is installed. In LifeCycle Manager version 10.1.4.0, it is possible to update your LCM Client 10.1.X to a newer version of
the LCM Server.
However, once updated, it cannot be used against earlier versions of LCM Server (10.1.1.0 or earlier).
It is possible to have both old and new versions of the LifeCycle Manager Client installed on the same computer.

Install a LifeCycle Manager Client

Go to http://LifeCycle_Manager_Server_IP_address:Port# where Port# is the
number you specified for the LifeCycle Manager Server port, plus 2.

If you used the default value (4060), the Port# is 4062.

If you do not know the value, look in the LCMInstallDir\LCM-Server\lcm.properties file for the value of http.server.port.

The LifeCycle Manager Download Area is displayed.

Click Download LifeCycle Manager Client. A
window is displayed asking if you want to save the installation file.

Click Save. The file LifeCycleManagerClient.jar is saved to a temporary folder on your local machine.

Open a command prompt.

If you are not using the Windows built-in local Administrator account and User Account Control (UAC) is enabled, then you
must start the command prompt with the option to Run as Administrator. Right-click the cmd file and select Run as Administrator.

Navigate to the directory where the .jar file is located.

Run the command to start the installation of the LCM Client.

If no default Java JDK is installed, you must type the full path to Java in the bin directory in the Java JDK installation.
For example, run the following command and press Enter:

"C:\<path to jdk or jre>\bin\java" -jar LifeCycleManagerClient.jar

The LifeCycle Manager Client Setup window is displayed.

Click Next.

Select to Install a new client.

Enter a name for the new client. This name will be the name of the shortcut created and the name of the folder where this
client will be installed.

Click Next. The Installation Directory window is displayed.

Select the destination folder or browse to another location. Make sure that the selected destination folder does not contain
any folder with the same name as your LCM Client (for example, LCM-Client).

Consider the following scenarios before selecting
the Installation Directory:

If you install the LifeCycle Manager Client in the
Program Files directory and User Account Control (UAC) is enabled,
it is required that you start the LifeCycle Manager Client using an
Administrator account. It is recommended to change the compatibility
level first before starting the application. For more information,
see M3 Core Administration Guide, chapter Changing the Compatibility Level.

If you install the LifeCycle Manager Client in the
Program Files directory and User Account Control (UAC) is enabled,
but you do not want to change the compatibility level, you must start
the LifeCycle Manager Client by selecting the Run as administrator
option. For more information, see Logging on to the LifeCycle Manager Client.

If you install the LifeCycle Manager Client in a folder
that does not require administrative rights, no further steps are
needed to start and run the LifeCycle Manager Client.
